Gophers first appear on level six of Egg Blast and they are the counterpart to foxes. Like foxes, gophers will try to avoid eggs by moving quickly across the screen. Unlike foxes, who attack the Easter Bunny, gophers attack the chicks by shooting bubbles enclosing the chick making it float upwards bringing the chick away until an egg hits it.

If a gopher is hit once by a egg, an ear from the glass will fall off. The second time the other ear will fall off and the third time the gopher will be destroyed and grant 500 points.
